So yesterday was productive, but not as much as the previous two days. A couple phone calls and me digging through my hard drive to find four missing chapters ate up a lot of time. No fears, it's all good.
I got the three chapters read looking for corrections. I have five left, three today and two tomorrow, which will put me finishing right on time.
10 chapters got corrected yesterday and I should be able to catch up today, leaving the last five for tomorrow. That task will also be completed.
I only got two chapters written/rewritten (one of each) yesterday for a total of just over 2000 words. That's not bad. I estimate I have fourteen chapters left to finish this rewrite of part 2, which is two per day. I accomplished that yesterday. But since I wanted to get into part three, I had been wanting to do three a day as a minimum. If I look at it that way, I'm thirteen behind. :/ That's an average of four a day from here on out. :/ We'll have to see.
So today, ten more chapters of corrections, three more for reading and at least three chapters of rewrite. There is a flag football game today, but that's a good break. I also still need to walk the dog, which isn't too painful. I think it can happen.
The thing is, I think I have to let go of this idea of a 'work schedule'. Or at least the idea of a normal one. Today and yesterday, I went back to bed after getting the kids going and slept until nine-ish. I felt good all day yesterday, never once stopping to take a catnap (I do that usually twice a day). My goal has been to have all of these 'beginning of the day' chores done (walk the dog, shower, make-up, etc.) done by eight-thirty so I can start 'work'. If I do an 'eight hour workday' with a lunch, I should be done at five, right? Well, my goals don't always fit into that schedule and Facebook sucks quite a few hours. I'm ALWAYS working right up until bedtime. If I'm looser with that timeline, I guess I don't feel as guilty? I don't know. It's been a bugger trying to get all this worked out.
Well, I'll touch base again tomorrow.
